Is Your Production Line Stopping Because of Bad Cables?
You know the feeling. You have a high-speed machine running. The cables inside the drag chain move back and forth thousands of times. Then, suddenly, the machine stops. You check the control panel. Error code. You trace the wire. The insulation is cracked. The copper is broken. Or maybe the signal is jumping around because of noise from a nearby motor. This costs you money. Every hour of downtime is lost profit. You need a cable that bends without breaking and blocks noise so your sensors work right. You need a cable built for the real world, not just a lab.This is why we built the LAPP ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 110 series. It is not just a wire. It is a flexible power and control cable designed for tough jobs. It uses high-quality materials to stop the common problems you face. It resists oil, it resists pulling, and it resists electromagnetic interference. Let’s look at why this 4-core 1.5mm² cable is the right choice for your factory, your HVAC system, or your machinery.
What Makes the ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 110 Special?
This cable is part of the famous LAPP German quality line. The “110” series is a classic for a reason. It is a number-coded multi-conductor cable. This means the cores are colored and numbered. This makes it very easy for your technicians to connect it. No guessing which wire goes where. Installation is fast and mistakes are rare.The “CY” in the part number tells you about the shielding. It has a tinned copper braid. This is a metal mesh around the inner wires. Why do you need this? In a factory, you have big motors, welders, and variable frequency drives. These create electromagnetic noise. If your cable has no shield, this noise gets into your data signals. Your PLC might read a false signal. The machine crashes. The braid acts like a fence. It catches the noise and sends it to the ground. Your data stays clean. Your machine runs smooth.
Technical Specifications You Can Trust
We know you need hard numbers to make a decision. Here is the data for the 4×1.5mm² version. We keep it simple so you understand exactly what you are buying.
Conductor: Flexible Copper Core
The inside of the cable is the most important part. We use bare copper. It has the best conductivity. But solid copper breaks if you bend it. So, we use stranded copper. Specifically, it meets IEC 60228 Class 5. This means it is made of many thin wires twisted together. This makes the cable very flexible. You can bend it around corners easily. It is not stiff like a solid rod.
- Cross-section: 1.5 mm²
- Number of Cores: 4
- Material: Bare Copper (Stranded)
- Class: Class 5 (Fine-wire)
Insulation and Sheath: Tough Protection
We wrap the copper in PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride). PVC is a great insulator. It stops electricity from leaking out. It also resists water and many chemicals. If you work in a wet or oily environment, this jacket protects the copper.
- Core Insulation: PVC
- Outer Sheath: PVC (Gray/RAL 7001) or PUR (for special oil resistance)
- Color: Gray
- Outer Diameter: Approx. 11.3 mm (0.445 inches)
- Weight: Approx. 214 kg/km
Electrical Power Ratings
This cable is built for power and control. It carries electricity to motors and sends signals to the computer.
- Rated Voltage: U0/U = 300/500 V
- Test Voltage: 4000 V (We test it at 8 times the working voltage to ensure safety)
- Shielding: Tinned Copper Braid (High coverage to stop noise)
Mechanical Limits: How Far Can You Bend It?
You need to know if it will fit in your drag chain. The bending radius is key. If you bend a cable too sharp, you damage the wires inside.
- Fixed Installation: 6 times the outer diameter (approx. 68 mm)
- Occasional Movement: 20 times the outer diameter (approx. 226 mm)
- Temperature Range: -40°C to +80°C. This means it works in cold freezers and hot engine rooms.
Where Should You Use This Cable?
You can use this cable in many places. It is a “general purpose” cable, but it is strong enough for heavy industry. Here are the top scenes where our clients use it:
Industrial Automation and Machine Tools
This is the #1 use case. Connect the servo motors, sensors, and control panels. Because it is flexible, it is perfect for drag chains (cable carriers). The machine moves, the cable moves. It does not get tired. It passes the VDE standard for high flexibility.
HVAC and Building Systems
Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems need reliable cables. They run fans, pumps, and thermostats. The ÖLFLEX 110 is CE approved. This means it meets the safety rules for Europe and many other countries. It is also self-extinguishing. If there is a fire, it does not spread the flame.
Data and Low-Frequency Transmission
While it is a power cable, the shielded version (LIYCY) works well for data. If you have a low-frequency signal, like a simple sensor switch, this cable handles it well. The braid stops “crosstalk” from other cables running next to it.
Heavy Machinery and Outdoor Use
The outer jacket is tough. It resists abrasion. If the cable rubs against a metal frame, it does not wear out quickly. It also handles UV light well (for outdoor use), though we recommend conduit for direct sunlight.
Quality and Safety Standards
You cannot sell a machine without safe cables. This product has the stamps you need.
- CE Approved: You can sell your machine in the EU with this cable.
- VDE Certified: The VDE tests the electrical safety and flexibility. It is a strict German standard.
- RoHS Compliant: It does not contain harmful heavy metals like lead or mercury.
- cURus Listed: Available for the North American market (UL standard).
The manufacturing process is strict. We check the copper purity. We check the insulation thickness. We do spark tests to find tiny holes in the jacket. If it fails, we scrap it. You only get the best.
Why Buy From Us?
We are a factory, not just a trader. We have been making cables for over 9 years. We have CCC, UL, CE, and SAA certifications. We know that price is important, but quality is more important. A cheap cable that breaks costs you more in the long run.We can also customize. Do you need a different color? Do you need a special connector? Do you need 100 meters or 10,000 meters? We can do it. We have a minimum order quantity (MOQ) of 100 meters for most items, but we are flexible. We offer free samples if they are in stock. You pay for shipping, but we want you to test the quality before you buy a big order.Our copper price is based on the market (LME or Shanghai Futures Exchange). We are transparent about the cost. We calculate the copper weight (about 86 kg per km for this size) and add our processing fee. You get a fair price.
